Van de Pavert was born on 24 January 2006 in Amsterdam and has been part of Ajax's youth academy since 2017. The defender made his professional debut on 22 November 2024 in the match between Jong Ajax and Telstar (3-0). So far, he has made three appearances for the reserves.
Director of Football Marijn Beuker: "We are pleased that Ryan has signed his first contract with Ajax. He is an intelligent player who can operate in multiple defensive positions. Ryan is very fast, explosive, and agile, with great stamina. Additionally, he is comfortable on the ball and possesses a precise passing range that allows him to connect with the midfield. Moreover, Ryan is a true Amsterdammer, bringing the necessary confidence and bravado. It is no coincidence that he was promoted early from the U19s to Jong Ajax. We see a bright future ahead for him here."
